Hugh Jass.

Not my idea tho. I saw that name on the credits of a video game. Never found out if it was a joke or truly the name of some unfortunate soul.

My first email handle was poodlecruncher. It was referring to the harmonics shrieks my guitar made when I lightly touched the fret, and had the amp turned up. Got a few strange looks with that one.

In a surprise announcement the German airline Air Lingus announced they are merging with Connie Kalitta's freight line Kalitta Air.

The new passenger/ freight line's new name is:

Connie Lingus

The new airline's tag line? "We go out of our way to lick the competition."
